Going to Walt Disney World soon and wondering how you are going to fulfill your toddlers need for physical activity? You've come to the right place! Recently, I found myself and my toddler seeking out all the playgrounds in the parks while waiting for other family members to go on rides, or complete a Rider Switch (a.k.a. Child Swap). These are the best places for young kids to be themselves (and burn off some energy before nap time!) There are several playgrounds and safe, open areas across the Walt Disney World parks designed for younger children to run and explore.  Here are my family's favorites: Magic Kingdom 1. Dumbo the Flying Elephant Play Area Location: Storybook Circus Details: An air-conditioned indoor play space where kids can climb, slide, and explore while waiting for their turn to ride Dumbo. It’s included as part of the ride’s queue. Parents can sit and relax while the kids play. When you are ready to ride Dumbo, you tell a Cast Member at the entrance and they w...

I finally achieved a lifelong goal of mine, to attend each and every one of Epcot's festivals in the same year (there are four, and I'm not local!) And now that I've successfully done each one, I wanted to give a run down of the basics of each festival to help you plan your next trip to the one that suits you best! Epcot International Festival of the Arts Season: Winter Focus: Art in all forms Food: Food Studios that display food as art Foodie stroll: Color Walk Entertainment: Disney on Broadway For Kids: Paint the mural and other hands-on art activities This festival is the first of the calendar year, running from mid-January to late February but wrapping up before spring (and Spring Break crowds) really hit Florida.  The focus for this festival is art, artists and color! It is also the newest festival, so it seems like they are still really solidifying it which is exciting to see how it changes year after year.  This festival brings some of the most beautiful food, but do...
